A Salisbury man was taken into custody by the Moberly Police Department on Monday night (Nov. 4), on drug charges.

"Not quite a quarter after 8 [p.m.], we received a call of a disturbance of some kind inside a motor vehicle in the area of Johnston Street and West End Place," MPD Chief Russell Tarr told the MMI on Tuesday (Nov. 5). "We arrived, and we began conducting our investigation. Subsequent to our investigation, we found illegal materials inside the vehicle."

Tarr confirmed to the MMI that these were drug-related paraphernalia, but said that not all of the drug items were found inside said vehicle. They were also not located within a residence in the area, Tarr said.

A report from the MPD noted that a 49-year-old Salisbury man was arrested and taken from the scene for Possession of a Controlled Substance — Methamphetamine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of Marijuana.

Online court documents show that 49-year-old Stacy Sears, of Salisbury, has been formally charged with Class C Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance Except 35 Grams or Less of Marijuana.

Sears has since been placed under $45,000 bond, and is currently residing in the Randolph County Justice Center, Huntsville.
